IT was 3pts lost on the first instalment of the European World Cup qualifiers but my 5pts Super Single is still running.

The Scott Brown to be carded bet didn’t happen with the Celtic man staying in control in a game that was nowehere near as fiery as expected.

I was unlucky with the treble – Slovakia won and Robert Lewandowski scored but Northern Ireland went goal crazy after I’d tipped under 2.5 match goals. Believe it or not but I was going to simply take an Irish win but talked myself out of it.

So let’s hope the third part of the Super Single wins and that’s over 2.5 goals at Spain v Macedonia. As it’s a 5pt bet I’m advising 2pts cover so at least the stake won’t be lost.

Greg’s nap was over 2.5 goals at Wembley and he picked the same bet for his overs series for members only so he was happy.

There are another nine qualifiers on Saturday night including Wales v Serbia, Austria v Ireland and Croatia v Iceland. We also have English and Scottish lower-league games to look at.

I’ve posted World Cup and Scottish previews and will add an English one if I get time.

In the Daily Record I’m going for seven Saturday Super Singles in a row. Most of them have been posted on the site and I’m sticking with my tip of Morton to win at Dumbarton.

So here are my Saturday selections and remember you don’t need to do them all. I may add others in the morning after checking latest teams news.

Yes and no. I had Carlisle on my shortlist but fear the Graham Westley factor.
He’s come in as boss and Newport have improved right away and are unbeaten in 4 including cup win against Wimbledon in midweek.
I prefer both to score here.

Mariners vs the Wellington Phoenix. Phoenix over 5.5 corners evens (Bet365). The Phoenix do love their corners don’t they…so I reckon this could be a good shout. Might have a punt on over 11 total Asian corners at 10/11. Should be an exciting game with lots of goals too

Good looking match up this morning where Melbourne Victory host Western Sydney Wanderers. Neither team has kept a clean sheet this season so you have to expect goals in this one, and for me Victory to edge it given their superior head to head results in recent time. 5 wins a draw and a defeat in the last 7 and they have notched at least 2 in 5 of those fixtures.

Victory are without Marco Rojas so Besart Berisha will be expected to step up and deliver the goals and I think he has a great chance today with 4 goals in 5 so far.

Another interesting stat is that victory have scored more goals than any other in the final 15mins (5), while WSW have conceded the most (4).

I take Northampton over 1.5 team goals and Morecombe matches O2.5 match goals every week, usually get a good run for your money if you look back on the stats to last season.
Add a 3rd match to make a treble, so going for the flyde match this week so hopefully few goals.
Good luck today all.

Newport v Carlisle (lunchtime KO)
Second placed and Undefeated Carlisle travel to bottom side Newport. See MrF has put up BTTS – Carlisle do concede and Newport have shown some signs of improvement. BTTS has come in for every Newport home game this season. Whilst Keith Curle’s Carlisle side average 1.9 goals per game on the road and have scored in every away game and 2+ in the last 3 aways. I am on:
BTTS & Overs 21/20
Carlisle > 1.5 TGS 5/6

Carlisle stats
– League position 2nd
– No games conceding 3 or more goals this season
– 5 games since a draw
– No losses this season
– No away games conceding 3 or more goals this season
– No away losses this season

Newport stats
– League position 24th
– No home games scoring 3 or more goals this season
– No home wins this season

Anyone else who had problems with 365 I managed to get my stakes back for the 2 bets I wanted to cash out although I placed more bets they wouldn’t budge on giving me back more! tight b…ds! i should have at least £50 cashed out if it worked.

Can’t imagine how many people lost out on huge amounts of cash outs last night. Looking on twitter it seems like a hell of a lot of people!

Anyway anyone who was affected get on live chat and have a word you should get some stakes back.

It’s better than nothing. One problem is bookies will say even without problems they can withdraw cash out offer at any time. And remember the cash out benefits them in the long run – not punters.
Anyway off to the Celsius Stadium to watch Glencairn v Clydebank.
Today they should have renamed it the Zero Celsius Stadium.
Good luck to everyone with all of their bets.

It’s like they can remove it when they want that’s not on! Should be a regulation about that why offer the feature of cash out when they can’t even offer it all the time. And funny how it went tits up last 15 mins of the games.

No, I didn’t predict that. I just replied to a supposed “respected” and PAID tipster on here that was laughing at the said premier league players and effectively predicting a Scotland win. Which as you have basically just pointed out, was a f***ing ludicrous suggestion.

The Green Arme look a good bet again away to Crewe, who are missing their front two. With Carey in the form of his life and Carlisle blowing it against Newport this is a chance for Argle to leap 7 points clear. Their away form is strong. So at evens I will happily be on them.
Good luck today.

Evening all your main man Max here, I successfully landed my NAP and NB last night and whilst I don’t fancy anything strong enough to part with big stakes I am willing to risk 5pts on Bale to score at 7/5 Betvictor, and Tadic to score at 7/2 various. for 2pts.

Both players are in form and with both sides have been hitting the goal trail in this campaign. Picking a winner is tough, Serbia are no mugs and with Ireland winning the pressure as been applied, so hopefully we will see an entertaining game.

Corners in the Spain game is maybe worth a look – 10 corners in first half and managed to get to win fh corners wins. At only 1-0 i expect Spain to press and going to have a go at over 16 @ 6/4 and over 17 @ 13/7

After a long lay-off it’s great to see the New Zealand Youth League back underway and everything has started as it left off at the end of the last season…no surprise that’s where I’m headed for the Night Owl…

HAMILTON WANDERERS U20 VS. TEAM WELLINGTON U20 (1.00 KO):

Hamilton are off to a flyer and sit top after 3 games with 9 points and a goal difference of +8.

Team goals aren’t too shabby either; 3-4-6 so far in scorelines of 1-3, 4-3 and 1-6 illustrate why I’d put this League above any other for goals.

Wellington Utd’s start wasn’t as successful with 2-1 and 5-1 defeats and don’t read as much into their 9-0 humping of Hawke’s Bay as you might…HB will be the season’s whipping boys much like last year.

Now the bad news. Coral had these games on pretty much full market last year but have pulled them the miserable b*stards – 365 have a limited selection but it will have to be one to get on as the games starts or just prior to KO for FHGs etc.
